Episode #216: Balance Is Everything - Why Standing on One Leg Changes Aging
Sun Feb 01 2026
In this episode of The Berman Method Podcast, Dr. Jake Berman and PA Jenni Berman break down one of the most overlooked—but most powerful—keys to longevity: balance. From standing on one leg to preventing falls, they explain why balance naturally declines as we age, why most people don’t realize it’s happening, and how it quietly limits movement long before a serious injury occurs.
They dive into the three systems that control balance—vision, the inner ear, and proprioception—and reveal why balance is one of the fastest physical abilities to improve at any age. You’ll learn why “bad balance” isn’t permanent, how poor balance increases fall risk, and a simple daily habit you can start today to retrain your body and protect your independence.
If your goal is to age stronger, move with confidence, and arrive at 80 feeling 60, this episode delivers an easy, practical takeaway you can build into your everyday routine—starting with brushing your teeth.
